    Yeah, but at that point it’s not a red flag anymore. If everyone plays video games, it doesn’t have predictive value anymore until you get into specifics genres or even specific games/franchises.

      But…Isn’t that the whole point of this post…? Playing video games doesn’t mean you’re a shitty person but there’s enough shitty people into the hobby that you need to get clarification? Why phrase it that way when we’re making the same point?

        It’s silly to blame “gamers” when gamers encompasses potentially the entire planet with every belief.

        Blame conservatives who happen to be gamers. It’s the same fucking people, every time.

          From my experience playing online games, there’s a higher percentage of people publicly using slurs than the general population.

          That’s not an admonishment of gamers as a whole, though. I’m not blaming “gamers” for anything

        We’re not making the same point, though. Would you take it as a red flag to learn that someone often eats noodles or drinks cola?

          Nowhere did I say it was a red flag to play video games so you’re countering a point I didn’t make with reasoning that supports the point I did

          Playing games is not a red flag in itself but some games certainly are. So getting clarification is about checking for red flags…
